He uses the suzuki OE plastic stuff, horribly overpriced. Suzuki also sell a rebadged givi maxia 4, but charge an extra €180 for the suzuki badge. All of their accessories are waaay overpriced. I might get a Vstrom RE, but I ain't shopping in their catalogue!
Chris m8 ,I have a few questions.I tested an 're the other day and I must say I enjoyed it .However at around 5000 rpm in B mode I found it to have quite a buzz in the seat and foot pegs , ? does this get better with more miles ?.Mpg what are you getting ? I ask as I found either it was a heavy drinker or the fuel gauge to be inaccurate .2 bars in 30 miles .Would you say it's a better bike than the nc750x ? Cheers m8
I came from a versys 650, which had a 180° parralel twin, so it was a bit vibey. But I now have ridden the 800DE for 10k km (about 6 months), and to be honest, to me it is buttery smooth. Sometimes it is a bit vibey between 4,5k-5k, which has gotten better after the break in, but it wasn't annoying to me at all. The speed limit in most places is 100km/h here, which makes the engine run at preciecely 4,5-5k, but I never get tired of it. Of course this is hugely dependent of the person riding it, and the particular bike. As for mpg, I get about 5.0l/100km on average (mixed city and highway). With lows of 4,3l/100km with sporty riding in the mountains, and highs of 5.7l/100km on the highway (around 130-140km/h). If you have any other questions about the bike, feel free to reach out:) Edit: I almost always ride in A mode, except in rain. But this would not really change the mentioned things (maybe mpg), apart from throttle response
I love mine
What luggage sits on the bike, and how do you like it?

It's the question that no owner wants to answer
Yes, it will. U'll have... more vibration 😅
This is is well known characteristic of this engine.
